Games add the fun to mastering CVC words and this game is as simple as they come. It can be adapted for intervention, consolidation and review. Sets can be mixed, and words can be selected to target skill deficits. You can leave out pairs and it won't affect the game. The inclusion of illustrated cards means it will support second language learners and those students who need more scaffolding to master CVC skills. All words have short vowel sounds.

Each pair has an illustrated card and a word card. You can use the word cards as flash cards to identify skill deficits for those students you suspect need extra support. Using card pairs you can transition to word cards and fluency as intervention. I even time students (with their permission) at this stage and I haven't had one that didn't want to improve their own rate of fluency.

It will be easy to differentiate using this product. You will maximise learning for all ability levels. Teaching this way is inclusive and it's much more fun than worksheets.
